STEP 1: I START BY MAKING A COMPLAINT TO THE COMPANY

For any question or complaint (high EDF billing, wrong consumption estimate by DIRECT ENERGIE, unwarranted increase of your ENGIE bill, connecting delays too long by Enedis (previously ERDF) or by GRDF, or issues regarding your last LPG delivery for instance) you must first contact the customer department of your supplier or distributor.

Most of the complaints are processed over the phone.

However, if your issue is complex or if you cannot achieve a resolution over the phone, a written complaint is required.

Here are the contact details of the services in charge of processing complaints for the main distributors of electricity and natural gas:

To obtain the contact details of the other suppliers of electricity or natural gas, and of the suppliers of other home energies (LPG from a network, in a tank or in a cylinder -propane, butane -, fuel oil, fuel wood, etc.), please consult your contract or your bill.

To obtain the contact details of your distributor of electricity or natural gas, please search the list of suppliers on energie-info.fr. Contact details are displayed at the bottom of the page.

GOOD TO KNOW : A complaint made by e-mail has the same value as one made by postal mail.

STEP 2: I SEND A REQUEST TO THE NATIONAL ENERGY OMBUDSMAN

If, after two months, you have not received a response from your operator, or if the response is not satisfactory, you may call upon the free assistance of the national energy ombudsman, within a maximum period of ten months.

Any referral made to the ombudsman must be done in French.

Send your request to the national energy ombudsman by directly reporting your dispute online with Sollen.
